Why not give full levels instead of this small sample of games that are over 20 years old?

I guess Nintendo looks at it as bonus amiibo features such as demos for VC games but to me feels more like desperate justification for more things they can do but feels lame. Oh well I am sure some people will enjoy it so more power to them.

I have to agree on why does this exist. Almost everyone owns Smash so this does seem redundant, I kinda like the randomess, but I do think this should've just got the whole game..

This should be made available for 3ds or n3ds too... seems like just a way to promote the VC library which is ok. Still, I'd like more substance.

Would have perferred it if they had N64 or GC games as well.

This is their way to allow people to demo VC games without the hassle of downloading and trying different parts within a game.

 

For us who know these games already and have already played most of them, it's... ok. But for consumers who are new to Nintendo, who have bought their first Nintendo console - kids! - this is great.!

Still don't know why they don't hand the game out with the ammibo, though it may just be Nintendo trying to retain the value of many of the games they are demoing

yeah i was thinking that, or if they would do a retro amiibo line like Ryudo mentioned on the forums before, it would be cool. The 8 bit or whatever amiibo would unlock the appropriate VC game.

Wouldn't it be better if we had a 8-bit SMB 1 amiibo for the SMB 1 game, a 8-bit SMB 2 amiibo for the SMB 2 game and so on?

I would say to put them all into a single 8-bit amiibo but it would be too much for a single amiibo?! Also, choosing between 3 8-bit amiibo would attract more consumers as some remember best the first or the second or the third NES Mario game.

 

16-bit Cape Mario Amiibo and 16-bit Yoshi carrying baby Mario amiibo...  oh, yeah!

If they're not giving us the full game, unlocking it on Amiibo Tap should put it at a discounted price on the eShop. You are already paying for the amiibo anyway.
